Chapter 4: The Accident part2

Wander couldn't believe it. He really couldn't believe it!

Finally, finally, the one person he hadn't seen, in years, was in his life again.

Jeff Cunnart, formerly know as Major Threat, bully supreme, had been Wander's lifeline in the short, hateful time he was in the foster system. But that was a story for a later date.

Wander almost didn't believe his own eyes when he recognized the bearded teen. Then they got to be partners for the test? No way!

Wander was ecstatic. His luck was unbelievable!

Jeff said he was only a jerk until a two years ago. The fact that he could transfer schools if he kept getting good grades motivated him.

Wander was so happy to see him. Jeff even used redhead's old nickname, Tumbleweed. A small gesture, but a nice change none the less.

They had only two classes together, and their lunch hours were different, Jeff's being after Wander's.

The tall boy looked much different from his nine year old self. He was always taller than the redhead, but now he was almost as tall as Sylvia or Hater.

His attitude was completely different, too. Instead of his angry childish self, he was a bit more reserved and mature, but still had the funniest jokes.

They had to say their goodbyes, their only other class being band, and went in opposite directions to catch second period.

It was a bit reliving to have someone else who knew Wander's life to confide in. Besides Sylvia, his oldest, most trusted friend.

He sighed as he went to his next class alone, Syl having gone to the restroom.

Time-Skip->
(Lunch)

Wander's classes went by a bit slower than usual. But he used that time to help Sylvia with questions she didn't understand.

Hater was the most interesting, however. He didn't say a word the whole class. He usually never did his work, and talked the whole time.

As Wander thought, he realized he'd never seen Hater smile, not even once!

And with newfound determination, he was set on asking blond to hang out.

He grabbed his usual salad and sat in the cafeteria. Sylvia had to serve lunch detention for talking back to her mother in the hall. Not smart when your ma's a teacher.

He sat alone with his hoodie folded on the table, perfectly happy as his friends from the school greeted him as they passed. Some leaving apples and grapes that they had bought just for him, as they said.

He was proud to have so many people to be his buddies.

He was content, until a hand gripped his shoulder roughly. It hurt, but not enough to rile him.

He turned to see Awesome, grinning maliciously down at Wander.

He felt a pang of fear as the tanned jock grabbed his hat off his head, pulling his hair a bit. He winced at the sudden contact, but recovered as he saw his hat.

His hat which was being crumpled in the Latino's hand.

"Give that back!" He yelled, panicked, gaining attention.

"But its so ugly. Jeez, you should just burn it. Is because you can't afford another one? Even if I was broke I'd never think about keeping it!" The tall boy taunted.
